FOLLOWING CHRIST AND LIVING IT

Because of our new life in Jesus as the body of Christ, we commit to grow in Him by:

• Receiving the gifts of forgiveness and life through God’s Word and Sacraments
• Trusting in God's promises
• Praying fervently
• Rejoicing in the Church's worship and musical traditions
• Inviting all who seek a deeper connection with God and meaning in life
• Providing a faith home for the whole family
• Engaging people's gifts for service
• Celebrating Christian fellowship

Because we are disciples of Jesus in this community, we commit to touch the lives of others by our actions:

• Responding to community needs by the power of the Holy Spirit
• Ministering to the sojourners among us
• Practicing Christian stewardship of all our God-given resources
• Sharing God’s love by reaching out to the lonely and the struggling
• Engaging the culture and community through education and proclamation
